She was born 1895 and died 1944, that makes her 49 (or 48) years old when she died. How could it then be stated that she was 59? One of the numbers must be wrong! KMA "HF" N 16:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I wrote the Corrie ten Boom museum for her exact dates. Czolgolz 19:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


Hey there. Your right, I made a typo. She was 59 when she died, accoring to her sister Corrie. The correct dates are 1885-1944. Thanks :) I'll fix it. OnFire4Jesus —Preceding comment was added at 04:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Weren't there only four ten Boom children, Wilhelm, Nollie, Corrie and Betsie? Am I forgetting someone? Czolgolz (talk) 15:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


yes, there were 5 children. Betsie, Willem, Hendrik (he died at 6 months and isn't mentioned much in Corrie's writing), Nollie, and Corrie. Did you write the museum??OnFire4Jesus (talk) 7:15, 1 January 2008

Yeah, but they never wrote me back. I never knew about Hendrik. Czolgolz (talk) 02:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


Hmm... that's odd. I added some nice edits yesterday. It's coming along. I don't know what else to add. I've studied Betsie for a year and know a ton about her, but nothing seems relevant enough to add...OnFire4Jesus (talk) 09:57, 2 January 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.110.157.136 (talk)

Well, you've added some great edits. Keep up the good work. Czolgolz (talk) 16:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm adding some info on her case of Pernicious anemia. OnFire4Jesus (talk) 09:17, 14 March, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.110.157.136 (talk)
